Why the India Pakistan war happened?

British used to rule India. When the natives were allowed to have independence in 1947, two states were to be created - one for Muslims and other for Hindus. Many states were Princely states- They were run by local princes and used to give tribute to British Empire. It was let on those princely states to decide whom they want to join or want to be independent. Three states which were contentious were; 1. State of Hyderabad 2. State of Junagarh and Manawar 3. State of Jammuh and Kashmir. First two states decided to join Pakistan. They were Muslim majority states too but India occupied these. Pakistan was unable to do anything as it was just been created. The third state, the state of Jammuh and Kashmir decided to join India. It was also muslim majority state. The people of that state revolted against this decision. This resulted in three wars between India and Pakistan. India does not discuss occupation of first two states and discuss only Kashmir. Source of five rivers is Kashmir so its vital for both countries to control Kashmir. According to Pakistan india set the precedence and whole situation should be viewed in larger context. India wants to focus only on Kashmir.
